(1) The end date of the performance period in respect of the conditional award made in 2005 is 31 December 2007.
(2) The conditional awards made in 2002, which vested in 2005 were based on the TSR performance of Unilever (when ranked against its
defined peer group) over the three-year performance period ending 31 December 2004. For this period, Unilever was ranked 13 out of its
peer group and therefore no vesting occurred for this award in March 2005 and the awarded shares of the award 2002 lapsed.
(3) Balance of conditional shares as from the date of appointment as Executive Director. Awards and vestings before are included in the balance.
(4) Stepped down as Executive Director in May 2005. Balance is at May 2005.
